Dry leaf smells nutty – hazelnut specifically. Wet I smell hazelnut, vanilla. I don’t smell the oolong base. I get hazelnut from beginning to end of sip with vanilla in the middle. The oolong underneath gives depth to the tea. The flavors appear more as tea cools which is nice. However, I also get more of an artificial taste like hazelnut coffee creamer thing as it cools. A decent desert tea.

Flavors: Hazelnut, Vanilla

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 2 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 15 OZ / 443 ML

Bio

I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.

I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.

I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.

I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.

My cupboard is completely out of date. I have a spreadsheet (it’s current!!!) that’s over 300 teas. Pretty equal amounts of black, white, oolong, raw, & ripe with a little bit of green/herbal.

Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
